About Philadelphia

Philadelphia, the hometown of the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, will be your hometown, too. Philadelphia is both a national hub for medicine and healthcare and one of the major cultural and historical centers in the United States. The fifth-largest city in the country, Philadelphia combines urban excitement with the hospitality of a small town. The city is one of our nation’s most historic, intercultural and walkable. Stroll from Chinatown to our open-air Italian Market, or from Independence Mall to artists’ alcoves in Old City. A city of unique neighborhoods, Philadelphia offers celebrated restaurants, world-renowned cultural attractions and world-class athletics. By car, bus or train, our accessible campus is an easy commute to New York City and Washington, D.C., and a short drive to beach and mountain resorts.
